I wonder what children feel about adult plans? Like is that different than embodying the things we dream or the same? 🤷‍♀️

That's something worth pondering. Even my 3-year-old granddaughter 'plays' work like her mom. Not sure what that means to her though.

Balanced like an orchestra…. Fascinating metaphor.

My world seems to be a bit more of the hard rainy showers, spurts of sunshine, a blast of a wind gust, followed by a prediction of hail. 😎 (and that’s all in the last hour here! True story!)

I love the comparison with an orchestra because there is nothing more unbalanced than an orchestra in the middle of the concert. The only points when the orchestra is balanced are the beginning and the end of the piece. The rest of it is a storm of beautiful harmonies and melodies taking you anywhere the author decided to travel.

I make a concerted effort to have the adult and child within me in concert. 😊

These the very contradictions that we need to hold in both hands, and hemispheres, in the current moment. In every current moment. Thank you so much!

When we become one in harmony with ourselves we are yet only but a blade of grass as compared to a forest of sequoias. When our free-will is aligned with the Divine Will of God is where the miracles begin and infinity starts! Soar as the butterfly even though we may have been grounded on earth as the catapillar....be transformed in the process! Pax, Lux et Amor IHS

Do you imagine butterflies remember being caterpillars & that is precisely the reason they do not fear flying with the wings they have been gifted even & especially in the presence of unknowns Joe?

That is a great reflection Alivyana and I would say yes as far as staying with the same brain structure or they would have come out of their cocoon prematurely panicking in the sequence of events. The first time you flew in an airplane presuming like most you do not have that fear, did it seem strange, yes but you adjusted. Same I think with a caterpillar that they view life as an evolution as we do. Just my observation...the ultimate Truth only God knows!
